Epistemological Philosophy

The branch of philosophy that asks whether knowledge is even possible, and if so, how. It's the field that gave us Descartes' "I think, therefore I am" (the only thing he couldn't doubt) and every philosophy student's favorite question: "But how do you know?" Epistemological philosophy has spent millennia refining the art of skepticism, producing generations of graduates who can undermine any claim but can't actually prove anything themselves. It's the philosophy of "are you sure about that?" elevated to a discipline.

Example: "He asked his girlfriend if she loved him. She said yes. He, being a student of epistemological philosophy, asked how she could be certain, given that love was an internal state she could only access introspectively, and introspection was notoriously unreliable. She said she was sure. He asked if she was sure she was sure. She left. He then questioned whether he knew why she left, and the cycle continued."

Breadhead 

Someone who is addicted to obtaining money and building wealth. A money addict and fanatic. Breadheads often work more than one full-time job, and some even participate in illicit activities to "obtain the bread".

A breadhead is like a crackhead, but for money instead of crack.

schmegegge 

Yiddish slang word meaning bullshit, baloney, hogwash, nonsense, crock of shit or hot air.

I don't buy the schmegegge about Morty sleeping with Moira.
His version of the story was pure schmegegge.
The whole schmegegge was made up to get Liz a little bit of attention.
